Just a little blog where I take videos, photos, and news/info for all bands and artists in rock, alt rock, metal, alt metal, heavy metal, screamo/emo rock and metal, punk rock, and some in between genres and I bring them all together in a giant electrical mash up I call the Live Wire.

In This Moment...
It's funny how things can happen sometimes. I live in northeastern NY, way past Albany (I believe I've said this before) but my mom worked in Schenectady for a long time. Some of you may know this but Maria Brink, lead singer of In this Moment is in fact from Schenectady NY (About an hour from my home, just cool how things happen like that). Personally I love the band, when they first got big I dreamed of being Maria Brink she was my idol and still is. She has a son, she's in a metal band, touring, playing shows non stop, recording song after song...she's super mom. It's just strange to take a step back and see that you can be a nobody and still make it to be a somebody. If you have never heard Maria Brink sing you're missing out. She has this gorgeous voice but she can growl and I mean really growl and scream like no other. Compared to Flyleaf, her vocals are more matured but same concept, not to mention Brink is gorgeous. I've seen In this Moment live, up close and personal. At the concert I went to they filmed Beautiful Tragedy live and my friends were in the video in the crowd. I had literally just left the pit so I was not in the video. But I'm okay with that. Maria has a ton of energy, the whole band does. There is no way that someone could go to one of their shows and not jump, clap, scream, mosh, crowd surf. It's just not possible to avoid all those things at their shows. As far as their relationship with fans, they love us. They say time and time again that they would not be here today without their fans. They always return the love.
The band is heavy, I only compare the vocal technique to Flyleaf not the overall sound of the band. If you like The Agonist or Otep just imagine them with a more feminine twist to it and that will give you In this Moment.
